Dear Mount Pleasant residents and business owners,
After four long years of planning and building, we are counting down the final days until we move into the new Town Hall. Starting July 7th, Town staff will begin moving into our new facility, which is located at the same site as our existing Town Hall on Ann Edwards Lane. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition into the new work space. It will be our pleasure to welcome you to your new Town Hall on August 11th at the Community Open House Event. More information about this event will be shared shortly.
In addition to our office move, summer programs and activities, there are several other upcoming meetings and events scheduled for the next month, so I invite you to sign up to our Notify Me module and stay updated on the latest Town news, projects, and events. For more information about all that is happening in the Town of Mount Pleasant, please visit us

Street Sign Replacement Program
|
To meet Federal Highway Administration requirements, the Mount Pleasant Transportation and Public Services departments have partnered in a joint street sign replacement program slated to begin in April. The capital improvement project will replace about 7,500 signs over the next five years, or roughly 1,500 signs per year. The Street Sign Replacement Program will include all street signs within the Town, with the exclusion of private roads and sideways. Existing signs will be removed if they are considered redundant or do not meet standards. Additional signs may be added where deemed applicable.

Visit the Riverwatch Café & Fishing Pier at Memorial Waterfront Park!
|
Part of the Memorial Waterfront Park complex, the 1250-foot long Mount Pleasant Pier stretches out into Charleston Harbor under the foot of the Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge. The pier's foundation was created from pared-down pilings from the old Silas N. Pearman Bridge.
Visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the bridge and harbor from the pier's bench swings and shade structures. The River Watch Café & Gift Shop is your one-stop-shop for fishing tackle, rod rentals, gifts and souvenirs; made-to-order sandwiches, ice cream, fruit smoothies, and more. Check it out today!

Be Prepared for Natural Disasters
|
|
Natural disasters can happen any time and the best defense is to be prepared. Residents should have emergency plans and supplies ready in case of an event. Hurricanes, rain and ice are predictable events, so you have advance notice to gather your supplies; however, not all events are so easily predictable and advanced notice is not guaranteed. Disasters such as earthquakes or tornados can happen with limited warning leaving almost no time to prepare. Take the following action today so you are prepared no matter what:
